Verdict
Quito Du Tresor hasn’t run badly in a couple of runs here this season and has been dropped in the ratings again. He’s preferred to stablemate Safari Journey but fellow veteran CHESTNUT BEN also likes it here. Peter Winks’ gelding was more his old self at Leicester last time so gets the nod, though he’s never won over this trip in his long career. Pekanheim has bits of form that entitle him to respect but he has a poor strike-rate. Lingfield second Fields of Glory is having only his fourth start over fences and Apachee Prince is even less exposed over the larger obstacles.
